Menu driven intelligent tutoring for power system modeling

Abstract

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the user with interactive visual communication to analyse and model the power systems. Applying the advantages of the GUI, new menu driven intelligent tutoring system was developed. The software allows the user to draw the single line diagram representing the power system with ratings of each component. The software calculates the corresponding per-unit values and the change of impedance of individual component referred to the common system MVA. These per-unit values can be used to draw the reactance diagram of symmetrical components automatically. Therefore, it becomes a convenient approach for creating an interactive tool in teaching and learning the power system. The aim of this project is to make teaching and learning more productive and efficient by employing modern technologies. It is hoped that this software will enhance the learning process and make it more interactive, interesting and user friendly.
